Day two of Copenhagen Fashion Week, 7 pm: the sun hits the glass-domed Glyptotek and the sky is impossibly blue. Fashion media stream up the 127-year-old museum’s steps to celebrate with Pandora, now in its fourth season partnering with CPHFW.
Copenhagen, known for its elegant townhouses and picturesque canals, has emerged as a significant stop in the global fashion calendar, celebrated for Scandi design’s innovative, intellectual, yet playful ethos. Brands like Rotate, Baum und Pferdgarten, and Bonnetje epitomise a youthful, accessible elegance—qualities aligned with Pandora’s vision. The jewellery brand’s dazzling styling suites scattered throughout the city underscore their ongoing commitment to keeping the city’s best dressed sparkling.
On Tuesday night, there’s a charge of anticipation, not least because Pamela Anderson, undoubtedly the woman of the hour, is hosting celebrations. Fresh off her press tour for The Naked Gun and a run in Tennissee William’s Camino Real (directed by Dustin Wills), Anderson has returned to Copenhagen in her fourth year as a Pandora ambassador.
Pink champagne in hand, guests spill into the palm-filled Winter Garden, awash with evening sun. Carl Jacobsen’s “oasis of beauty” proves the perfect preface to a week about design.

After the champagne, we’re guided through galleries housing Egyptian, Greek and Roman collections. Our guide explains that the faded marble statues were once painted in vibrant hues and oiled with perfumes and jewellery, which brought the characters of their gods to life. (Our guide highlights that you can still see piercings and earrings that were once hung on the lobes of some statues.) Apt, given Pandora, a jewellery brand that became known for its personalised charms, has an ongoing dedication to using jewellery as a vehicle for self-expression and personal storytelling.
Descending into the Glyptotek’s majestic Central Hall, guests find themselves in a Roman-inspired setting from 1906, surrounded by classical antiquities donated by Carl and Ottilia Jakobsen. Navigating the 130 table settings is a game of musical chairs to rival any happening on the international fashion stage. And then, our host for the evening arrives. Anderson might confess to some fatigue having arrived fresh from her final performance in Camino Real in Williamstown, Massachusetts, but any sign of it is indiscernible.

Luminous with her bobbed platinum hair swept back in a headband and a high-necked black Khaite gown with a spine-grazing low back, she’s sparkling in Pandora’s lab-grown jewels. “I’ve been really busy over the last few months,” she quips, sharing that Copenhagen “is a perfect palette cleanse.” A sentiment shared by many attendees who spend their year following hectic fashion week schedules.
Renowned chef Lasse Askov has crafted a three-course meal inspired by Anderson’s own cookbook and Pandora and Pandora’s CEO Berta de Pablos-Barbier notes that the title I Love You: Recipes From the Heart could not be more apt for the ethos of Pandora a brand that throughout its 43 years has celebrated gift giving and heartfelt expressions of love.
Following dessert (cream with raspberries and sugared rose petals), guests gather for cocktails and toast the extraordinary range of talent and style on show in the city this month.
Below, find some of the Pandora pieces Pamela (and this writer) sparkled in on the evening.
